Nica
/Sounds like "NEE" (as in "knee") + "kah" (as in "car")/
A Nicaraguan, someone from Nicaragua. It's the short, informal, affectionate way to refer to someone from that country, used proudly by Nicaraguans themselves and everyone in Central America.
“We nicas make the best gallo pinto.”
“My neighbor is nica and always brings me nacatamales.”

Quedar tronado
